"one of the more clever devices in that shameful, brilliantly executed,

"Obama’s newest attempt to save himself after Wright’s latest poisonous
performance is now declared the new final word on the subject.
Therefore, any future ads linking Obama and Wright are preemptively
declared out of bounds, illegitimate, indeed “race-baiting” (New York Times editorial, April 30). "

"On
what grounds? This 20-year association with Wright calls into question
everything about Obama: his truthfulness in his serially adjusted
stories of what he knew and when he knew it; his judgment in choosing
as his mentor, pastor, and great friend a man he just now realizes is a
purveyor of racial hatred; and the central premise of his campaign,
that he is the bringer of a “new politics,” rising above the old
Washington ways of expediency. It’s hard to think of an act more
blatantly expedient than renouncing Wright when his show, once done
from the press club instead of the pulpit, could no longer be
“contextualized” as something whites could not understand and only
Obama could explain in all its complexity"

"Turns out it was not that complex after all. Everyone understands it now. Even Obama."
